They even use legalese references, and use of paralegals. Only 1 registered nurse is ever on the panel and their knowledge leaves a lot to be desired, usually bringing nursing into disrepute for £310 + expenses a day. <br />The NMC couldnt get Pauline Cafferkey's head so they have gone for Donna Woods scalp, she was guilty before she got anywhere near the kangaroo court.<br />At least their cases have been dealt with quickly. One poor RN has had 12 month suspension followed by another 12 month suspension since 2012. Others I know are 15,7,6 and 4 years and waiting. Some ending up mentally ill because of the psychological abuse metered out to nurses going through the FtP torture. If RNs resort to prescribed medication & alcohol. The NMC demanded bloods and hair specimens from them, then that they sees an NMC psychiatrist.<br /><br />The main problem is the NMC are not accountable to anyone, in theory they are to the Privy Council who appointed them but in practice the NMC is a loose cannon causing havoc to nurses and their families. <br />5000 nurses are referred each year, mostly by NMC stakeholders, 2500 end up before the NMC crew. Any nurse who reports abuse, neglect or poor standards is at risk of referral on false allegations supported by witness statements (usually HCAs) bought by the referring company or trust (Suddock Vs NMC) How long must nurses be persecuted by NMC for their own gratification Lenin Nightingale on Nursebloginternational has written copiously about th NMC and its actionsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03931504430277859862noreply@blogger.com
